LADY OF LONE LAKE.

One beautiful summer evening was
,ou;rg with a friend on one OF those
romantie lakes in the west OF Ireland
The dav had been a hot one, and the
midsummer sun locked like ball OF
fire as it slowly sank behind the hori-
ann It was 3 beautiful scene. The
AXE Law like sheet of silver. To the
rigbt were high banks friaged with
dark trees, and perpendicular cliffs al
most hidden by cIinging vines. To the
left stretched level meadows, Cotted with
grazing cattle. Above Us was the mellow
sky. while from the east arose the full
moon to replace the fierce rays Of the
dsv.god with her mild radiance. Inthe
distance we could see the dark outlines
of an old baronial castle, almost hidden
bv intervening trees. This, my COM
panion informed me, was Larrimoor
Hall.
WeIav aside our oars, and for a time
Hoated silently over the CLASSY surface
Of the lake, enraptured by the beauti-
full scene. l was a young artist, living
In London at that time and now taking
nv summer vacation. 1t was my first
visit to the Emerald Isle aud I had
been wandering with delight among the
romantic mountains glens, and lakes,
filling my soul with beauty and my
portfolio with sketches. My compan-
ion was the young Lord Of Glendale,
whose acquaintance l had made while
travelling on the continent happening
to meet him in my Wanderings, ne had
insisted on my accompanying him TO
his cuuuiry seat, assuring me that the
scenery around II surpassed anything |
had yet seen.
The scenery was indeed charming:
bu. IS yet | have been more charmed
with Ey hosts fair sister, Nora, who,
as their parents are dead and the heir
vt unmarried, was acting as the LADY
o. Glendale.
As We hoated the glow faded. and
the soft moonlight oauhed the lake and
rocks and meadows with silver. The
LAKE was quite isolated, being on the
border between the estates of Glendale
and LaVimOor, and was seldom visited
by anyone but the members of these
two families. Tonight we were its sole
visitors. Imagine my surprise after
floating for some time in silence to see
small boat rowed by a figure III white
glide swiftly over the surface. We are
not alone, said L, pointing to it.
An, SAID my companion, that is
only 3 spectre. Did you never hear the |
story Of the Lady of Lone Lake,
No said l, but methinks she rows
LemarEIsolly well for spirit; let's give !
